#WashiPaper

Making Washi Paper in Japan 📃🇯🇵 This hands-on papermaking experience at Ozu Washi Tokyo was such a highlight! The paper pulp, made from Kozo trees, goes through an incredible process before it finally reaches the vat (the "Sukibune"). Learning how to pull sheets of paper using a "Sugeta" was so interesting, with several layers being pulled, to make just one sheet! I loved the Japanese concept of washi paper have 3 features & qualities: 👉 Strength 👉 Tenderness 👉 Warmth Ozu Washi is a company with over 370 years of tradition from the Edo era. The history and delicacy of washi paper has me captivated and inspired! I want to learn more! The next Japan trip I really want to go to the Washi Paper town in Japan = Echizen Washi Village! Who want to join? #washipaper #papermaking #japan #japanexperience #japantodo #ozuwashi #howtomakepaper #japanpaper #washi #experience #travel

山梨県・身延町
西嶋和紙の里。 ここは富士山のふもと、
清らかな水に恵まれた場所。
和紙づくりに適した
自然ゆたかな環境にあります。 映像は山叶製紙株式会社の工場。
おもに書道用紙を機械抄紙しています。 機械による生産であっても、
原料の配合、機械の微調整、 そして仕上がりの検品には、 常に人の手と目が必要です。 真っ白な一枚は、 地道で単純な作業の積み重ねから生まれます。 派手さはないけれど、 ここにははたしかなメイド・イン・ジャパンの ものづくりの姿勢が感じられます。 Minobu, Yamanashi —
home of Nishijima Washi. At the foot of Mt. Fuji,
this town is blessed with clear water —
a good place for papermaking. This video shows Yamakano Paper,
a factory producing machine-made calligraphy paper. Even with machines,
people still mix the materials, adjust the settings,
and check the paper by hand. Each white sheet is made
by doing simple work again and again.
It may look quiet,
but it clearly shows the spirit of Made in Japan. #washi#WASHIPAPER#calligraphy#書道#和紙#山梨#yamanashi#富士山#fujisan

[Making of Kinshi] 1: urushi on washi The gold thread, key material for our bags is made of three Japanese traditional materials: washi paper, urushi lacquer and gold leaves. Here, urushi lacquer works as the glue to bond the paper and gold leaves. The craftsman precisely controls the thinness of the urushi layer that determines the lustre of gold leaf that are applied later in the journey… Stay tuned for more videos to see how this piece of paper turns into the golden thread! 金糸の製作工程① ［和紙に漆を塗る］ バッグのタグに使われる金糸は［和紙、漆、金箔］という３つの伝統工芸材料でできています。 金糸づくりは、金箔をつけるための糊である漆を和紙に塗るところから始まります。 漆の層の厚さが、金箔の光沢を決めるため、単純に見えてとても大切な工程です。 この紙が金糸になるまでの道のりを紹介していきます！お楽しみに〜！ #sat🌀 #金糸とヨット #伝統工芸 #伝統工芸士 #金糸 #西陣 #西陣織 #日本の伝統工芸 #職人技 #作業工程 #箔押し #金箔 #漆 #japanesetraditionalcrafts #japanesecraft #japanesecrafts #craftsmanship #japaneseaesthetic #traditionalcraft #handmade #handcrafted #asmar #wabisabi #goldleaf #goldleafart #urushi #washipaper #kyototrip #handcrafted #goldenthreads

I’ve already mentioned that I’m working on a new body of work, which is based on retrieved Washi paper and previously unfinished, and destroyed pieces. Here’s a first glimpse! – The series will be called FRAGMENTATIONS and will feature three different types of work, all based on reclaimed and reworked pieces: * Small sized art, based on collages of selected fragments, or occasionally also of a single fragment; all on paper with a mat. * Medium sized collages of re-combined fragments, mounted on wood panels. And … * Big sized works on wood panels that are created with re-assembled and reworked fragments (bits and pieces), like the one shown in this video. – So stay tuned more is in the making! – – #wip #artprocessvideo by #inkartist #thothadan showing the #artprocess of a new #artseries based on #retreived #washipaper #workinprogress #artproject

At Fibre Arts Take Two, we get to experience some of the most amazing places and meet extraordinary people, and we love nothing better than to share these with you. During filming for The Way of Wabi Sabi Collage with Donna Watson, we had the privilege of visiting Kurotani Washi, an 800-year-old paper mill and village in Ayabe-Shi, Kyoto, Japan. Here we saw first-hand how washi paper is processed, including making Kozo uniform, washing, obtaining, and beating the Kozo fibres. The highlight was seeing the paper-making process in the vats of paper pulp; overall, it was a mesmerising experience witnessing the labour of love that goes into every piece of paper and one that we will never forget. How is Kurotani Washi paper different from other Japanese washi papers you may have heard of? You won’t find any fancy machinery here; almost every process is still completed in the traditional way... by hand and using the life force of the river that runs through their village. Students of The Way of Wabi Sabi will enjoy an interview with Donna Watson and Mutsuko Yamashiro, the owner of the Kurotani Washi Cooperative, where you’ll learn more about this incredible cooperative and how they keep their tradition alive.
